Official Crop and Stock Report by
Ohio State Board of Agricul-
ture for June 1, 1887.

The following estimates are based on
reports from nearly one thousand regu-
lar township correspondents, received
up to June 6. The per cent. of condi-
tion is estimated by comparison with a
full average condition
The coming harvest now promises
80, 400, 900 bushels. The May prospect
was 2S,400,000. Compared with the
average of the last seven years, $3.50, =
600, the crop of 1887 will likely fall
short 6,27O,0O0 bushels. The May re-
port indicated shortage on the seven
years average of S,270,000 bushels
The condition up to June l indicates
an increase of four points or about e.
900, 900 bushels and will still fall short
of last years crop 100000 bushels.

THE INDIAN OUTBREAK.
100 Indian Apaches on the War Path
Instead ofthe Few.

TUCSON, A. T., June 13.-The hos
tiles are supposed to be in the east end
of the Santa Catalina mountains, as
their signal smoke has been distinctly
seen. Troops of cavalry are operating
in that locality. Over 100 fighting
bucks are out, all well armed. The
chief of the Avarspia Apaches says
there will be a big Indian war; more
than 400 warriors will soon be in the
field, and with good guns and plenty of
ammunition. Nearly all of his young
bucks have Joined the hostiles. All of
the mountains have been fired. The
Indians say this was done to stop
troops from using the heliograph signal
flash. The crest of Santa Catalinas
last night was ablaze for fifteen min
utes.

CONDITION COMPARED WITH FULL AVERAGE.
GENERAL REMARKS.

The showery weather since June l
has caused rust to apples in some of
the best wheat in the bottom lands and
also cause that on strong land to lodge.
The extent of damage from this new
feature cannot now be estimated
The same conditions of weather
have improved the prospects of oats
and meadows.
The decline in fruit prospects since
the May report is about so points for
apples and cherries. Peaches and pears
promise about half a crop.

Business looming.

No matter if people Will per-
sist in saying it is a dull season,
it's patent to all that we are do
ing a rushing business: 1t is
very plain that our efforts to
please the people in goods and
prices are appreciated, as the
numerous visits to our large
store will testify.
The general public read our
advertisements, think over them,
and can see that they are not
only safe in buying of the "Lit-
tie Dutchman," but that they
are getting the best, newest and
purest goods in the market at
prices that surprise all.
It has always been the aim
of J. G. Saur to save money for
his customers. This you should
not forget, and also remember
that when he does you up a pre-
scription he uses nothing but
strictly pure goods. His drugs
and chemicals are pure and
fresh, and he sells them cheap
er than any other house in this
section of Ohio, at retail or
wholesale. If you want good
results from medicine, it will
surely follow by getting your
medicines of the "Little Dutch
man. at whose store you will
find every known remedy for
every known disease. He will
not sell any articles but what
he knows to be pure and fresh.
And, as this is the season of the
year when you are probably
thinking of repapering and re-
painting your house, we ask
your careful attention to Saur's
stock of Wall and Window Pa
pers. He is still and always has
been the "Wall Paper King"
and this season especially he
has outdone himself in selecting
styles and patterns that will
please all Prices on these
goods are SO low that the poor
est man of a family can afford
to make his home comfortable
and attractive. There is moth
ing that adds more to a home
than neat pattern of paper ON
the walls.
Bear in mind that Saur car
ries the largest stock of Wall
Paper in this section of country
He buys direct from the manu-
facturers in large quantities,
and always gives his customers
the benefit Of this, as it enables
him to sell at cheaper prices
than smaller dealers can sell at.
1t is indeed astonishing that
such a small outlay will buy
such beautiful paper and add
so much to your homes. But
come in and try it.
Also, Saur's is headquarters
for Paints and Oils. His Dia-
mond White Lead is known the
world over to be the best, and
his stock consists of all varieties
and colors, ready mixed or not,
just to suit yourselves. This is
the time of the year to do paint
ing and those contemplating
fixing up" a little this spring
should come in and see Saur
and his immense stock Of Paints
and Oils. He has also a full
stock Of Brushes, Of all sizes and
for all uses.

TABOR'S RICH STRIKE.

DENVER. Colo, Nov. 19-EX-Senator To-
Dor has struck it rich again, and this strike
1t is believed, eclipses all previous records
made by this lucky miner. The find was
made in the MatchlesS mine at Leadv1lle,
a property which is owned solely by Tabor.
1t was once famous producer, but for the
past five years has been almost
at stand still. This is the
mine which returned Tabor $4,000
day for over year. The total produc-
ton of the mine is 81, 230, 900. When the
rich strike was made in the north shaft at
the Dunkin mine, an adjoining property,
Tabor at once commenced TO sink n shaft
in the north end of the Matchless claim,
hoping to strike the Dunkin ore shoot
Almost fortnight ago the Gaping por..
phyry was pierced, land the thin stratum Of
shale which usually overlies the ore in
East Fryer Hill was encountered. The
work continued with renewed zeal from
this point, and Wednesday fine ore was en-
countered, in which the shaft Is still sink
ing. The ore body gives every evidence OF
being larger and OF higher grade than
formerly existed in the Matcbless and OF
making the mine of the largest producers
in the district The new strike Will prove
of the deepest interest to the owners OF
adjacent properties, as it demonstrates the
existance of parallel ore shoot TO the one
hitherto known to be SO productive. 1t is
believed that the new ore shoot will con-
tinue eastward from the present discovery,
and if such proves to be the case 1t will
add millions to the wealth of Leadville.
